Sudair Pharma, Saudi Arabia

Fabtech Technologies has projects in three Middle East countries: the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Seven projects are named: three in the UAE, three in Saudi Arabia and one in Bahrain. In Bahrain, our client is Gulf Biotech.

In Saudi Arabia, our turnkey project for Sudair Pharma covered the cleanrooms, the HVAC and the clean utilities of its oncology facility. In a turnkey project, one company designs, supplies, installs and tests the plant under one contract.

A cleanroom is a room where the air is filtered and controlled.

Fabtech projects in the Middle East: seven in three countries

Fabtech has seven named projects in the Middle East: three in the UAE, three in Saudi Arabia and one in Bahrain.

They include medicine plants, an oncology facility and operation theatres in a hospital. The UAE and Saudi Arabia also have their own pages with more detail.

Fabtech in Bahrain: Gulf Biotech

Fabtech in the Gulf: the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain

The UAE: cleanroom panels in Dubai

The first point is Dubai, in the UAE. Here we supplied modular cleanroom panels to Geltec Pharmacare.

A modular cleanroom panel is a wall or ceiling panel that is made in a factory and joined on site. Fabtech makes these panels.

Saudi Arabia: an oncology facility

The second point is Saudi Arabia. For Sudair Pharma's oncology facility, Fabtech delivered the cleanrooms, the HVAC and the clean utilities as one turnkey project.

Saudi Arabia: water and steam at Madinat Al-Dawaa

The next point is the Madinat Al-Dawaa plant, also in Saudi Arabia. Here we supplied the water and steam systems.

The purified water system makes 1,000 litres per hour, and the WFI system makes 500 litres per hour. WFI (water for injection) is the highest grade of water in a medicine plant.

Bahrain: Gulf Biotech

The last point is Bahrain. Our client there is Gulf Biotech. Its Managing Director, Dr. Waqar Ahmad, said that Fabtech's "sincere efforts and hard work made it possible".

Buyers in Kuwait, Oman and Qatar

Fabtech takes orders for clean air equipment and cleanroom work from every Gulf country.

Our export team answers every enquiry from the region. If you are in Kuwait, Oman or Qatar, you can order clean air equipment and cleanroom work from us.

Buyers in Bahrain can order in the same way.

The range includes pass boxes, air showers and complete cleanrooms. A pass box is a small chamber with two doors.

It is used to move materials into a cleanroom. See our dynamic pass box.

An air shower blows filtered air over a person before they enter a cleanroom. See the full range of cleanroom and clean air equipment.

How a Gulf project runs, from design to handover

Our pharmaceutical engineering services team designs the plant from your product and your site.

We supply what the design needs. At Geltec Pharmacare in Dubai, that was cleanroom panels, HVAC, electrical work and booths.

We install the systems and commission them. Commissioning means starting each system and checking that it runs.

We then carry out qualification, which means the written tests and records that prove the plant works as designed. The four stages are DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ: design, installation, operational and performance qualification.

Our equipment qualification page explains each stage.

We hand the plant and its records to your team. At Madinat Al-Dawaa in Saudi Arabia, Fabtech later supplied spares and upgrades for the plant.

We build GMP and WHO compliant facilities. GMP means good manufacturing practice, the rules a medicine plant must follow.

The full method is on our turnkey pharmaceutical projects page.

In the client's words

Dr. Waqar Ahmad is the Managing Director of Gulf Biotech in Bahrain. He said this about the Gulf Biotech project, which he calls GBC.

GBC was our dream project Fabtech's sincere efforts and hard work made it possible. You are an inspiration to everyone.
